My favorite thing from your trip to quilt market was the fact that you shared it all with those of us unable to go through things like instagram! I guess my favorite things you showed off were the back stage talks with the designers - esp the "Spell it with Moda" quilt and Vanessa Christenson's "handmade" Thanks for sharing!!!

I like Joanna's booth, her Pear quilt is so cute. I love the Vintage Playtime quilt by Red Rooster fabrics. Of course Camille's booth with the cute April Showers fabric is another favorite, love the Umbrellas quilt.

I love Vanessa Christenson's and Camille Roskelley's new patterns and fabrics. I also love the Vintage Play quilt from Red Rooster. It's fun to see all of the booths and new fabrics and patterns coming out. Wish I was there!

I am enjoying the vast array of quilting and the many styles that make up this wonderful art we call quilting! I dream of one day making it to Huston...but for now I am pleased to see Market through your eyes.Thanks for sharing!

It is so nice to see the designers and their new lines. I am trying to branch out with other designers. Wish there could have more close up pictures of fabric like Pat Bravo and Tula Pink. Too many pictires of people and not enough of the fabric. It is hard to biy the fabric from online. I think the pictures were better last year.

I love looking at all the booths but the thing that interests me most is the way that the designers display their fabrics and ideas. The different styles of booths definitely influences my fabric loves.

I love the excitement that is projected from your Market experiences. You guys put a lot into them, and apprently get a lot out of them, becuase you bring us products from some awesome designers. Love the colors,the displays, everything!

I'll never get to a quilt market because I'm a home quilter, so what I love is seeing the fabrics and quilts designs that are coming out. I like seeing how the designers and companies use the fabrics in the quilts they make. You did a good job of showing us these things. Thanks.

I was going to leave a comment even before I got to the give away part! So appreciate the photos where I can see things. So many market photos have so MUCH in them one sees nothing...just form and color. I am saving your blogs as not read so I can go back and look again and again.

Love all the new fabrics, love that you share the photos of the show with us.I especially like the grant park collection and spidey fabrics.Every day I look forward to jolly jabbers emails and new inspiration from all of you.Thanks,Sue

AahhMaaaaZing!!! Love, love, love everything!! (That's my problem, I can never choose just one,). Amy Butler, Anne Kelle, and Abbey Lane are my leaders but if I had to choose just one... Anne Kelle. It looks SOOO fresh an fun! Hope to see y'all Saturday!

I really liked the pretty notebook cover by Lynette Anderson.I hope you'll carry those patterns. You capture the excitement of market and shared with the wonderful video. Thank you !!!!wandasewstar at hotmail . com

The coverage of the Downton Abby collection was my fave. Now that I have seen the fabrics, I would love to make a quilt while watching the series. Thank you for giving us a glimpse of all that is to come.

I love seeing the photos of the great variety of quilts, fabrics and products from Market. I'm curious about the Downton Abbey buzz. I loved the show, but the photos of the fabric and designs didn't excite me. Did spark my interest:) Thanks so much for all that you do to include us in Market!

I feel like I'm almost there with all of the wonderful photos of the booths, Schoolhouse, and new fabrics. Thanks for the great job you did. You show cased one of my favorite designers, Zen Chic! All of it is outstanding and gets the creative juices flowing!

I anxiously await each morning to see what pictures you have posted about quilt market. I love the new quilts Jan Patek shows in her booth! Can't wait for tomorrow.I love how you show what you are going to be selling at the store after quilt market!

You have made each day exciting for all of us not attending this wonderful Quilt Market.. It is so nice to see the designers - their patterns & ideas - all the hard work they have put into their booths. More exciting books coming out to drool over... Thank you so much for sharing all this wonderful quilty goodness with all of us... Look forward to seeing what is new for the next day...MaryLouFun4Me1249@aol.com

My favorite thing about your Quilt Market posts is just seeing all the pictures and booths and faces of the designers and your staff as you give us all a glimpse of the exciting new quilts and fabrics and books and patterns and trends in the quilting world. Thanks so much for sharing the fun! ... :) Pat

If I could only scoop up everything in GinaMartin's booth!!..She has so much to share of her,imagination and she inspires me every time I see her fabrics in The Fat QuarterShop web site....Have FUN for all of us who are unable to attend the Quilt Market!!!...

Boy it's hard to choose a favorite - there are so many beautiful fabrics. But I'm really looking forward to seeing the new Sausalito Cottage collection by Holly Holderman for LakeHouse Dry Goods in person! Love the purple & peri(winkle) color ways!cdgearey@hotmail.com

I love seeing all the new fabric lines and projects that the designers have taken there. If one can't be there, you recap is absolutely the next best thing. Thankyou so much for all the work you do to let us see it through your eyes :)

Wow! All the new fabrics and quilts made my day! I really liked the size of Jan Pataks quilt Front Porch...would love to see that as a block of the Month...of course,Downington Abbey was elegant just like the show!

Loved it all! So inspiring to see the new things coming and made me want to get my sewing room organized so I'm ready to get more new things! Can't wait to see better photos of Downton Abby projects and line- as well as Laundry Basket's laser cut kits. Beautiful.

I love seeing all the new fabrics and patterns that will be coming to our favorite quilt shops soon. All the beautiful colors are dazzling. Thank you for the great daily recaps of Market. k.castanette@hotmail.com

As much as I love to quilt, I like seeing the pictures with clothing made from the new lines. I sew for my family and it's fun to see what the designers are doing with their collections that aren't quilts.

I love all of your e-mails from Fat Quarter Shop and also Jolly Jabber - such beautiful items and wonderful ideas. I always like to know what new fabrics and ideas are coming. I tried to leave a comment (below) about the Lori Holt quilt and Quilty Fun book but could not find where to make it so I thought I could e-mail you and put my comment so I could win one of the three sets of books - how wonderful would that be!!! Carol Spence

I love the way all of the designers reinvent themselves each year. Looking forward to seeing each collection at the fat quarter shop blog. My next project will be a bag from Amy Butler fabrics. Yum!! Love her booth.
